Abstract:

Radiotherapy- The most defined molecular antioxidants such as cysteine, cysteamine, WR-2721 etc have been demonstrated to render significant protection against radiation injuries but have been toxic by and large. In these circumstances it became necessary to find out non-toxic radioprotective agents.

Spices- Large Cardamom (Amomumsubulatum Roxb.) is grown in eastern Himalayas particularly in Sikkim, Darjeeling and Assam hills. The dried fruits are commonly used as spices for flavouring food and in many house-hold medicines.
